Abstracts,
the
Cochrane
Central
Database

Systematic
Reviews,
CINAHL
(Cumulative

Literature),
and
EMBASE
For
the
serosorting
question,
hand
searching

(MeSH)
were
used
in
addition
to
key
words
to
maximize
sensitivity
and
specificity
of
searches.
MeSH
terms
and
keywords
were
PICO
question-­‐specific
(see
below
for
terms
used).
Secondary
reference
searching
was
also
conducted
on
all
articles
included
in
the
review
as
well
as
in
past
systematic
reviews
and
meta-­‐analyses.
Conferences
searched
included:

Conference
Conference
on
HIV
Pathogenesis,

for
abstracts
presented
at
conferences
subsequent
to
those
listed
above
(CROI,
2009-­‐2010;
IAC,
2006-­‐

Inclusion
criteria
To
be
included
in
the
systematic
review
and
GRADEing
processes,
an
article
meet
the
following
criteria:
Published
in
a
peer-­‐reviewed
journal,
or
presented
as
an
abstract
at
a
scientific
conference
only
if
additional
information
could
be
gleaned
from
the
author.
Include
information
that
is
pertinent
to
at
least
1
PICO
question
of
interest.
Screening
abstracts
Two
independent
reviewers
screened
the
titles
and
abstracts
of
citations
identified
through
the
search
strategy
for
potential
eligibility.
Full
text
articles
were
obtained
for
all
selected
abstracts;
each
article
was
reviewed
by
two
independent
reviewers
to
determine
eligibility
given
the
above
inclusion
criteria.
Differences
between
the
two
reviewers
were
discussed
and
resolved
through
consensus.
Data
extraction
and
management
Data
were
extracted
by
two
reviewers
using
standardized
data
extraction
spreadsheets.
Differences
in
data
extraction
will
be
resolved
through
consensus.
The
following
information
was
gathered
from
each
included
study:
